This week, we're airing a presentation by Mark Cook from Burning Books bookstore in Buffalo, NY. This was recorded on February 18th, 2016. From the announcement on Kersplebedeb.com for the event: "Mark Cook is a former Black Panther, member of the George Jackson Brigade, and political prisoner. Twenty four years in prison could not break his spirit or commitment to Black liberation and Mark Cook is as active an organizer now as ever. These events will be worth traveling for, as Cook will only be speaking on these two dates while on the east coast, before heading back to the Pacific Northwest" As usual, we invite listeners to check out the slightly longer podcast version online for free. To hear the questions and answers from the end of the presentation, you can check out the podcast. You can find more presentations from Burning Books plus audio from Mark presenting at the 2015 North American Anarchist Black Cross Conference in Denver, CO (pt 1, pt 2) at our website and find more and longer videos of the presentations on youtube. You can learn more about the bookstore venue, including books about the George Jackson Bridge at BurningBooksBuffalo.com.

Last September, the Alliance of Families for Justice led a 19-day protest and marched from Harlem to Albany on the anniversary of the devastating 1971 Attica Prison riots. During the March for Justice, marchers were greeted and joined in solidarity by communities throughout the state, culminating in a rally in the state capital. In this program, participants and organizers discuss their continued commitment to criminal justice reform and the ongoing struggle to close Attica Correctional Facility. Following a screening of a documentary short about the March for Justice, Soffiyah Elijah, executive director of the Alliance of Families for Justice, moderates a panel reminding us why the families of the incarcerated marched: to demand an end to human rights abuses that continue in Attica and in prisons here and throughout the country. Panelists include Carol Harriott, Lilly Osei-Tutu, Kevin Barron, and Linda Rousseau. Part of the series "States of Denial: The Illegal Incarceration of Women, Children, and People of Color," presented at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. This event took place at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art on March 25, 2018. Video courtesy Elizabeth A. Sackler Foundation. www.brooklynmuseum.org/eascfa/video/

"Eyes of the Rainbow" deals with the life of Assata Shakur, the Black Panther and Black Liberation Army leader who escaped from prison and was given political asylum in Cuba, where she has lived for close to 33 years. In it we visit with Assata in Havana and she tells us about her history and her life in Cuba. This film is also about Assata's AfroCuban context, including the Yoruba Orisha Oya, goddess of the ancestors, of war, of the cemetery and of the rainbow. "In the struggle of the African American people, many women's voices in the past and the present have always called for social justice, women who throughout the years have shown integrity and firmness in their principles. For this reason, "The Eyes of the Rainbow" is dedicated to all women who struggle for a better world. ~ Gloria Rolando As always, edited by Ian Anderson (@starsalwayslost), with special thanks / credit to Sina Rahmani + The East is a Podcast.
